General Wood sends President Roosevelt a copy of the Far Eastern Review about the Moro Province, and believes that the Americans have “taken hold of the question of development” far better in Moro Province than elsewhere. Wood also reports that he will try to attend some of the large maneuvers by the Chinese in Honan Province. He believes the U.S. should know as much as possible about these Chinese troops. Finally, Wood explains that he dislikes to lose Captain Frank Ross McCoy, because he is an “extremely valuable officer,” but he understands that he should not interfere with McCoy’s chance to serve Roosevelt directly.
